It's easy to feel hopeless about the world around us. Tell me about something good that's happening. Scale doesn't matter, it just needs to be happy. Please @ me.

Hope Lights Winter’s Window

White-capped mountains,

Ice-silk, starched by the Sun

Snowflakes melt to fountains

Streams of trickling waters run

Buds dress barren branches

To bear leaves spring winds will comb

For now they’re filled with finches

Soon to nest their babies’ home

Green wakes up and yawns

From under cover of the muck

Stretching into lawns

Dotted with clovers marked for luck

Chilly days and nights remain

Snow is forecast, too

But, little signs that winter wanes

Keep hope within my view

Bees Gees Be Like

I woke up this morning. This means that I am still alive.

That's good... right?

Something good

It took me a while to think of something good that's happening.

But I found a few things:

1. I'm going on a trip with my class

2.I'm turning 14

3. Might be getting a piercing this year or next

4. Holidays

That's all I can think of.

Well oof

Not just good...wonderful.

Finding light in a world of darkness is a challenging task. Yet, I have had the gift of hearing, seeing, experiencing the brightest, most wonderful Light of all. Sometimes, that chilling darkness creeps in and penetrates my thoughts with all sorts of evil. But, my only hope--my living hope-- is in the Light, which holds the great power. This Light is here, right in this very moment, and one day all of existence will be restored to perfection by this very divinity. This Light has a name, and that name is Jesus.

It is Going to be a Beautiful Day

A baby will open its eyes for the first time today and be in awe of their parents loving gaze

The newlyweds will share their vows with one another

And a couple in Iowa shall celebrate 60 years of being together

A shelter dog will find its forever home

So will a cat and maybe a ferret too

A boy will find the courage to admit his feelings for his crush

There is also a girl who found the strength to say no

Someone just got that promotion

Another found their calling

While a man named Louis quit his job without a single regret

Friends will meet for coffee or tea for the first time in ages

Children are cheering for a snow day

A lad in Edinburgh will go back to university

Times are hard,

That's what everyone may say

But I promise you that it is going to be a beautiful day

I learned more of what I don’t like...

Which means I learned more of what I DO like, and that means I know what I can think about often, to feel better-- and also so the universe knows what to send my way as I continue on with my life.

Good simple things

Finally, my online friend is no longer feeling so bad! I was so worried about him, but he is now totally doing well. He is him once again.

Yesterday we went to my grandparents’ house. We had a good time. We did miss them, and my aunt was there too. Like usual, she was so funny and caring!

Today, mom made a dish that I like a lot, and now I am lying next to her, and she is telling me: Don’t stare at the screen for a long time, better let me warm up your hands for you. I just love her ^^

My dad was here too making some funny gestures, which was hilarious.

My youngest brother adapted to his diabetes finally, and he is doing great. I am so happy about this and proud of him.

Because I was absent on an application for a while, an online friend there sent me a message on my phone number. That was surprising and so lovely. I missed him too and all the other friends!

This period is the olive oil period. We got 60 L olive oil as gifts from friends and relatives, although they know we have oil. People show caring in different ways, and not necessarily give because they think you need something. Also, It is great to have a strong relation with relatives and good friends.

I am not giving up applying for jobs at all! ;)

I am thankful for the smallest things happening as the big good things. I hope that you have good things happening too.

We Sang Together

This is something I would have never done but I did it. I spoke to this Security Officer. She spoke to me then all of a sudden she broke out in a song that I love. I just ran with it and began to sing with her. We sound so go together. She told me the name of the church she want to. I told her I don’t go to church anymore but I am a very spiritual person. I needed to hear that “Yes Jesus Loves Me” took me back to the days when I was on a choir. We sang a few bars. We both felt so good she told me she has to sing that song because people have no respect when she tells them to move their cars. I was in my feelings but we made each other feel good for that short amount of time. It made me smile for the rest of the day and I went home cooked dinner, listened to some gospel music on my phone, and asked Alexa to play me some updated gospel music. Still listening it got me in a place that’s up lifting and feeling good. Makes me want to go back to Church. Not sleepy yet still up in the wee hours in the morn until I go upstair to bed.

Whole ’Nother Level of Strong

Granny never expected for my grandpaw to die as soon as he did.

She couldn’t write and she couldn’t read and had to struggle to feed 8 kids

But she wore a smile and did what she could trying to keep those kids on track

And when they went to bed she went and set on Papaws swing out back

She would sit there sometimes a’ll night long

and hum herself a couple of his favorite songs

Aint That some kind of strong.

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

After another few years I could see the fear my mama kept brushing off

I was getting on the bus making a fuss said I just wanna stay home

It had been me and her that’s all that we knew and how it’s been all along

Then she took my hand and helped me up the steps and like that her boy was gone

She watched the bus stirring up dust as it took me off on my own

Man. Aint that some kind of strong

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

Later in life when it was me and my wife and we were waiting on our first child

I was a mess but she was the best at calming me down every time

Then the time came and I saw the pain that the miracle of giving birth is

But instead of complaining she couldn’t wait to tell me it was all worth it

She was just as nervous all along

But She always made sure I never caught on

Aint that some type of strong.

Stronger than I could ever be

Stronger than ive ever seen

She was always there so that she could take care of everyone and everything

She would do whatever she could to be there to help

Even if it meant going without for herself

Every one better leave that woman alone

Cause she’s a whole nother level of strong

Yeah a whole nother level of strong
